Development Of Penta-Axial Geophone For P- And S-Wave In Seismic Downhole Method

Seismic downhole is a geophysical method that measures the soil/rock velocity of geological subsurface boundaries in the proximity around borehole. Velocity of seismic wave captured by geophone inside the borehole is transmitted from a source located on the ground surface adjacent to borehole in the...
